Curved Table

Top and Drawer

Here's the cherry for the top and drawer front.
I want to taper the top in the middle with the ends flaring upward.
I removed most of the waste on the bandsaw before gluing the two pieces together. This saves a lot of time removing material.
Glue up...
and remove any rough parts with my little 100 1/2 palm plane.
A smooth out with my ROS and it's time to look at the drawer.
Plane down some poplar to 10mm and crosscut to length.
Rout the 6mm groove for the bottom on the router table..
And cut the dovetails. I used my Littlerat router jig. Add a maple veneered MDF bottom and glue up.

 

Let's make the drawer runners and guides.
The outer edges need to be curved to match the cabinet sides. A scrub plane with it's curved iron makes quick work of this.
Glue in place......
And we're ready to apply the finish.
